What are Mexicans dying from? INEGI reports over 792,000 deaths in 2025
The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) revealed that Mexico experienced a decline in the total number of deaths in 2025, highlighting that non-communicable diseases such as heart disease and diabetes remain the leading causes of death. This trend toward lower overall mortality, with most deaths occurring within the calendar year, suggests possible improvements in healthcare or significant demographic changes. The gender distribution shows a higher prevalence of male deaths, while the geographic distribution indicates notable regional disparities, with northern states facing higher mortality rates. These spatial and gender patterns are crucial for understanding specific population vulnerabilities and designing more effective and targeted public health strategies. This report is vital to the field of open data because it democratizes access to critical epidemiological information. By providing data broken down by cause, gender, and location, it enables researchers, citizens, and authorities to conduct independent analyses, promote transparency, and evaluate the real impact of national health policies.
